Noob question: If I have 3 x R606 miners, do I need to run 3 instances of cgminer? Or is there a way to run just one instance of cgminer and control all 3 miners?

If they are all linked to the same pc then a single instance of cgminer will pick them all up. However it will try to run them all at the frequency you set it to, which can be problematic if you have a unit thats not as fast as the others. But a single instance for each one means you can tweak them individually to get the best performance from each.

Gems, can you send a screen shot? in cgminer you should see something to the effect of "0: GSI 1003XXXX: BM1387:2+ 100/100/100 . This will show what speed cgminer is telling your newpacs to run at.
the 100's stand for Current speed (100MHz) / target speed (100MHz) / peak effective speed (100MHz)

you may need to enable wide screen print, in CGMiner, press D for display settings, the I for wide screen. then space to return to the print out.

Think for yourself

- I have tried using these commands in terminal with my details before running cgminer --gekko-newpac-freq 200 --gekko-2pac-freq 150, however they just mine at their standard rate of 100mHz. Huh

I don't have any of these sticks so I don't have any first hand experience with them.

However, does CGMiner attempt to try the higher frequency and then adjust down? Or does it not even try the speed you specify?

Also which build of CGMiner do you have?

Have you tried the different type of sticks by themselves to isolate the issue?

Have you tried them without the USB Hub?

We are not retail.

Those are default settings I believe. Never used anything but win, is it not as simple as changing the numbers in your file or "details"?

Hi there,

Does anybody know how to overclock the Newpac and 2pac miners on cgminer, via Raspien (Raspberry Pi)?

I'm currently running 1 - Newpac and 2 - 2Pac's on an Orico USB hub - via a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ (Raspien latest version) on CGminer (latest version), however I just can't seem to overclock them. Embarrassed

- I have tried using these commands in terminal with my details before running cgminer --gekko-newpac-freq 200 --gekko-2pac-freq 150, however they just mine at their standard rate of 100mHz. Huh

Besides this issue my setup and mining session is running perfectly on CGminer, no problems at all.

Am I missing a step somewhere?

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Gems41

Yup here is mine. I switched over to Prohashing and have been running steady over 10 days now.

Screenshot: https://ibb.co/CwHsvWW

4 Newpac's @ 425Mhz on a gekkoscience hub. and 2 R606's running at 725Mhz on volt setting 6. These are operating on a AMD FX-6300 16gb Ram powered Linux Mint box. (based on ubuntu).

The 2nd R606 in the screen shot tends to reset every now and then. Which shows in the accepted shares as it should be even with the 1st one or close to it. It will get a nouce on chip 0 and reset the device.

Could anybody who is using this R606 in home, can share a detailed speed rates (TH/s) pls...

I have two R606s running off a Delta 2400 supply that is also running an Avalon miner. The two R606s are two serial numbers apart, but far apart on performance:
The low one is: 732,487.17 MH/s over a two day period
The high one is: 783,674.91 MH/s over the same two day period

I guess the difference is because the ASIC chips are not binned. Really that is all that it could be, same PSU, same computer.
Incidentally thanks @DieselWeaseI ! I purchased an oDroid-N2 to run these R606s and some staking. The oDroid-N2 really runs great using Ubuntu 18.04 mate. It runs rings around a low-power celeron that I was using.

Forgot to mention both R606s are at voltage setting 4 and trying to run 575 MHz. The lower one will not go much over 536 MHz, the high one runs all the way at 575/575/575.

Sure here's a screen shot of my cgminer: https://imgur.com/a/0GSDqIs

I've got four of these running at default settings pulling ~300W at the wall.

1TH/s at 100W is pretty damn good for a near silent in home miner.

Hello,

can someone please tell me how to run multiple instance of cgminer at the same time? I'm running 1 newpac along with 4 2pacs and they don't seem to be getting along. I can't get all of them to run at the same time, what usually happens is that one of the 2pacs is immediately detected as "0 chips found" on cgminer. After multiple attempts of taking that stick out and plugging it back in, cgminer finally detects it. I'd be happy if things stopped at that, but usually a few hours later I get the same error message "0 chips found" on one or multiple 2pacs.

Are you using a GekkoScience hub? I'm running eighteen Newpacs & two 2-pacs on GS hubs with no issues using one RPi

For 2Pac advice, try the 2Pac support thread instead. Read the first post; it's got answers to about 90% of questions like this.

sounds good, thanks!

Read 1st 4-6 pages of this thread, you'll find the answer. This question was asked before here in this thread.

I was hoping I could separate the instances of cgminer, that is, have one window for just the newpac and another for the 2pacs and see if that would solve my problem. Another alternative would be to have an instance of cgminer open for every stick. Just wasn't sure how to enter that in my config file.

I'm running windows 10. I'm also using the official gekkoscience usb hub and a server psu, so I don't think power supply is the issue here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Glad it's going. There's been all sorts of issues with Win10 doing crazy crap and jacking up the USB throughput.

Here's what those fields mean:

0: the device number in the list
GSI 10040069: device ID (type) and serial number
BM1387:12+ type of chip (BM1387), number of chips detected (12) and ASICBoost is working on your pool (+)
550/550/547 Current speed (550MHz) / target speed (550MHz) / peak effective speed so far (547MHz)

Never mind, just got a Pi today, and I'm back to full speed!

Code:

0: GSI 10040069: BM1387:12+ 550/550/547 (11:6) [oooooooooooo] | 99.0% WU:^85%
| 752.2G / 642.2Gh/s WU:8974.8/m A:20000 R:0 HW:6

Plus I now see that all the chips are working.
Not sure what happened under Win10, but it's a moot point now.

Thanks,

run cgminer with widescreen enabled. either via --widescreen in your .bat file or doing it through the settings menu while cgminer is running.

your chips will show up [oooooooooooo] if they're all online. each "o" represents an online chip.
